European Standards for Plant Biostimulants Development
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) plays a crucial role in developing European standards for plant biostimulants, focusing on improving plant nutrition processes independently of nutrient content. The CEN/TC.455 committee is responsible for creating standards supporting the EU Fertilising Products Regulation, enhancing plant characteristics like nutrient use efficiency and stress tolerance. Development of technical specifications and harmonized EN standards is essential for validation and implementation. AFNOR provides secretariat services for CEN/TC.455, working towards enhancing plant quality traits and soil nutrient availability.

CEN/TC 455 Plant biostimulants Definition of PFC 6 Plant Biostimulant A plant biostimulant shall be a EU fertilizing product the function of which is to stimulate plant nutrition processes independently of the product s nutrient content with the sole aim of improving one or more of the following characteristics of the plant and the plant rhizosphere: nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, crop quality traits, or availability of confined nutrients in the soil or rhizosphere
CEN/TC 455 Plant biostimulants FPR - Fertilising Product Regulation The European Parliament voted in 27 March 2019 to approve the compromise text of the EU Fertilising Products Regulation (FPR) The Council will endorse the text on 22 May. Publication in 25 June 2019 Entry into force 15 July 2019 Application 16 July 2022 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF /?uri=OJ:L:2019:170:FULL&from=EN
CEN/TC 455 Plant biostimulants European Committee for Standardization (CEN) ? The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) develops setting European standards (ENs) that are applied across the whole of the European single market. CEN brings together the national standards agencies of 34 countries and a network of thousands of technical experts from business federations, commercial and consumer organizations, environmental groups and other societal stakeholders. It will be mandated by the European Commission to develop standards supporting the implementation of the fertilising products regulation and in this context CEN has created a Technical Committee CEN/TC 455 on Plant Biostimulants. AFNOR designs and deploys solutions based on voluntary standards in France and selected other countries. It serves the general interest in its standardization activities and provides services in such competitive sectors. AFNOR Normalisation provides the secretariat of CEN/TC 455 Plant Biostimulants.
